Monday: Black Mtn Carmel Mtn loop: Black Mtn Carmel Mtn loop: legs feeling pretty good, pressed the effort slightly a couple times and everything seemed to respond as expected
Tuesday: Pre Rehab run: Run to rehab: tough getting out of bed this morning, the run started off a bit sluggish in feel then loosened up nicely.
run back from rehab. legs felt ok so i decided to explore some of the roads i've been curious about. a little sluggish towards the end. could have used something to eat.
Wednesday: Copenhagen pink lion loop. nice little trail run with some elevated efforts. the double down on lunch definitely weighed heavily. had a difficult time with the cardio as a full stomach seemed to limit my lung functionality, and i'm sure there was a lot of blood flow to the stomach rather then my legs. a fun little run would be more fun with a mainly empty stomach.
tanners loop. this is the 2nd time i've been on tanners loop, and it has been different both times. fun little loop with some good short steeper climbs. higher effort the last 1.5 miles felt good to shake it out and a little bit on the edge of the envelope. good day.
Thursday: black mtn carmel mtn loop: difficult to get out of bed this morning. legs felt a bit lethargic, but still managed to run well and all comfortable. had a little higher effort on mile 4, wanted to come in under 7 minutes (got 6:44). a good day with a comfortable finish. legs feel heavy, but times are still good. hopefully the legs clear up a bit before saturday.
Friday: South Dakota explorations: short easy aclimation run to south dakota. good opportunity to shake the travel out of my legs. climbing was slow and calves a bit tight, took the descent nice and easy picking out clear lines with minimal rocks proved to be a bit challenging during several sections.
Saturday: Black hills 100. a fun start to a long day joining Victoria on her adventure. started out very conservative with good weather. before long the humidity and heat set in and slowed things. miles 30 - 44 were pretty rocky and a bit slow going. had technical and gear issues from miles 50 - 66 which required us to run 7 rocky miles in the dark in 2 hours. 30 minutes faster then on the way out. give the situation we decided to opt for some sleep instead.
Sunday: a day of rest, sort of
Retrospective: another pretty big week with a lot of hours on the feet. things went well for most of the week, i managed to shed much of the fatigue from san diego 100 and was feeling pretty good . Saturday's run was admittedly very slow with lots of breaks, but a good bit of time on the feet and some experimentation with nutrition. all in all i am pleased with the week. i'll spend a couple weeks absorbing the high mileage and then focus on switching to higher intensity runs and see how things go.
